[1] On December 1, 1536 Dantiscus was designated by the Warmia Chapter for the post of coadjutor to Warmia bishop Maurycy Ferber, but did not manage to obtain the official papal confirmation of his appointment before Ferber died (July 1, 1537).

[2] From the mid-15th century the Warmia Chapter presented every bishop elect with election capitulations (the articuli iurati) for him to sign. These obligated the bishop to defend the rights and privileges of the Church in Warmia and to recognize that the Chapter and the bishop were partners in managing the diocese. The capitulations also concerned more detailed issues of finances and jurisdiction. (cf. cf.

[5] The Prussian gentry’s legation presented the king with gravamina containing about 20 objections, mainly against the Prussian Council and against the domination of the great cities (especially Gdańsk) over the region. The gravamina concerned economic matters (taxes, commerce, customs duty, measures and weights, minting of coins), legal issues (court procedure, court fine amounts, interpretation of the law on indigenousness, codification of Chełmno law, attacks by noblemen from neighboring voivodeships, accusations against Johann von Werden), administrative matters (the procedure of convoking general and particular assemblies, marking of territorial borders in Prussia), and defense (vetting) (print: cf.
